Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

“All original Korean War Era 4×4 Jeep. Mechanically sound and no rust through anywhere ( some surface peel ). Runs like a top.
Two sets of tires and wheels, full curtains including radiator quilt, canvas seat covers and 2 new 12Volt batteries.
This rare original has seen minimal use. It appears to have been an officer’s jeep because it has a heater. Markings include “82 AB” and “HQ” on front bumper. Jerry can on the back.
Can be seen by appointment. Call with any questions. No long emails, texts. Not interested in any low ball offers and no help needed in selling. Garage kept and as good as you will find for its age.”

(04/15/2016) Looks like a clean rebuild.
“1946 Willys CJ-2A fully restored. This is a non-military model. Complete ground up/frame off restoration on this vehicle. The only thing that was not fully rebuilt was the engine (it had plenty of compression and was super clean). Differentials, transmission, and transfer case have all new gears, bearings, and seals. New master brake cylinder along with new brakes and brake cylinders at all four wheels. New clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing. Synthetic lube in all gear boxes and silicone brake fluid. Tires are new non directional tires and it has always been garaged since it was completed. Over $15,000 worth of parts were used (not including labor and materials such as welding rods, hardware, etc). System was converted from 6V to 12V and turn signals were added. The rest of the vehicle is original.Two and a half years were spent putting this all together and it looks factory new. Great to take to shows. Gets a lot of attention.
Complete proceeds from the sale of this Willys will be going to our church. Asking $20,000, which is a more than fair price given all that was done to this vehicle.”

Worth a closer look.
“For Sale 1957 DJ 3A $6500 OBO
Frame off restore, no rust nice paint. Flathead 4 cylinder, 3 speed column shift. 95% done, great shape, has a fuel issue, probably bad gas.
It has just been a porch pretty for a year. We are playing with the fact to cut it in half and stretch it and drop a big block in it and make a bad ass trail rig out of it. We’d figured Id throw it out there for sale 1st.
The inside pics are taken today and the discoloration is all just dirt and pollen. ”

“6 cylinder hurricane engine, original running gear. I was going to restore it, don’t have the time. I did have the seat and door panels recovered with leather. Put on brand new knobby tires. This would be a good project for someone that wants to do the body work, it has dents. Otherwise, 4 wheel drive works, low range, high range. Could just be a good farm truck as is. Clear title. Will send more pictures if you like.”

This wagon just sold on eBay for $18,000. The inside sure looks nice, but the outside could use work.
“Sweet baby Jesus! This truck is cool! This little beauty is a 1962 Willys Wagon Overland with only 23,343 original miles. It has lived its entire life in Story, Wyoming plowing a 60′ driveway. It has always been maintained by the previous owners son who has been a mechanic for 30+ years. It starts, runs and drives great! It still has good power, shifts good but does need a little brake work as it pulls to the right when you brake. It is still running its original drivetrain with a 6-226 Super Hurricane motor and a 3 speed manual transmission and working 4×4.
The undercarriage if free from any corrosion or rust as is the rest of the truck. The floor boards are solid and it even has the original floor mats that are in exceptional shape. It also has the original seat belts, upholstery and headliner that are in amazing shape for their age. The tube radio still works when it gets warmed up and sounds pretty darn good. It has one small tear in the seat but nothing big enough to want to take the originality away. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A
This is the first model of civilian jeeps produced after WWII.
Jeep does need work. It will start… sometimes. When I pulled it out of the driveway to take pictures of it to sell, the brakes were not working. I haven’t checked into why, so it could be an easy fix or may not be. Jeep has a Tennessee title.
The jeep is mostly original parts and is about 99% complete with the exception of windshield wipers and possibly some odd things that I don’t know about. I also have manuals that come with the jeep (more than likely they are reprints).
Jeep has a 4 cylinder flat head engine, 3 speed transmission, and is 4WD.”
Dan spotted this pretty stock CJ-5.
“1956 Wills Jeep

“Real deal surplus jeep, running gear good(only 56,000 miles) , drive/hunt with it as is or restore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,750.
Looks like a good rebuild. Includes a few extras.
“This is my Willys 47′ CJ2A. I found a new project Jeep that I want to restore so I’m putting her up for sale. New odometer reads miles since rebuild. I put a ton of hours into her. It was a farm Jeep originally then a car collector did a quick fix up on her. Body is solid. Only bondo was where they took off the spare tire holder to customize it a bit. The spare tire support in the wheel well was kept in tact. They changed her color to red. Under the gas tank and other concealed spots found her true gray color. Originally I was going to drive it “as is” but every pinion yoke leaked badly due to the leather seals that were still on her. Then I found the gas tank leaked as well as the radiator. The brakes needed new cylinders and the wiring was brittle. Transfer case we as ok but the transmission would kick out of second gear when down shifting. The “Go Devil” flat head motor ran ok but had the problematic cracks above and below the distributor. I can go on.
Now here’s what I did to her.
